Current challenges and implications for dengue, chikungunya and Zika seroprevalence studies worldwide: A scoping review.
BACKGROUND:Arboviral infections are a public health concern and an escalating problem worldwide. Estimating the burden of these diseases represents a major challenge that is complicated by the large number of unapparent infections, especially those of dengue fever. Serological surveys are thus requi...
